Status Question
My car was just dropped off at port in the US, but the 1-800# says it is "at port waiting on a shipping vessel". Does this just mean it is waiting for a truck for transport? Seems odd because they use that same status for cars at port in Bremerhaven.

The automated system is really useless. My car is still listed as at the delivery center a year after I picked it up. Your CA can get more detailed information.

My CA gave me the boat my car was on (Baltic Highway), which was at port in Charleston yesterday. My status had been "in transit", so I was expecting the next status to be "at the Preparation Center", so when I called, and it said "vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel" I was confused. It could just be a glitch, but was wondering if might just be how they describe the vehicle when it is waiting on transport to the performance center (I'm taking PCD on Aug. 30).

Once the ship lands your CA is the best sort of information. BMW and MINI both need to update their old tracking software. The same problems that cropped up in 2003 are still with the company seven years later.
